I had a fun evening yesterday
I took my rocker covers off to inspect the valve clearances, and to my horror, found that gasket material stuck solid to both mating surfaces.
So I had 2 hours, of gentle scraping and teasing off of old gasket.
I have a 2 valve, and I understand that the 8V model uses rubber gaskets (like BMW)
I did some searching in the hope I could find rubber replacements for the 2v engines, but there is nothing.
Surely an untapped market here for someone ?
Cheap and easy to make, with a lot of sales potential.
I'm going to have a go at making some myself.
